This sports blog is about everything and nothing and all the stuff in between. If it entertains and informs … fantastic! If it makes you angry, that’s OK, too. It’s worth mentioning that spending time here will reverse the aging process and cure bad breath.

The Bumble, the Bad & Ugly (OJ, Notre Dame, Pats, too)

My windows were open so I could hear the collective scream across Seattle when Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander collided, fumbled and established a dubious moment in Seahawks history.

The Bumble.

Even the most optimistic fans have to be registering this nagging thought: Will we point at that moment in December and note, “That was when the Seahawks yielded their business class seat in the NFL.”

San Francisco is 2-0 and alone atop the division. The 1-1 Seahawks gave away a winnable division game. Sure, it’s nice that St. Louis is banged up, struggling and 0-2, but that’s small consolation when you give a game away.

The good
-Lofa Tatupa continues to develop into one of the two or three best inside linebackers in football. His third-quarter interception felt like the play of the game until THE BUMBLE.
-71 second-half rushing yards.
-A 16-yard Shaun Alexander TD run on fourth-and-one, created by a great kickout block by pulling guard Rob Sims.
-The first big day of Deion Branch’s Seahawks career (7 receptions, 122 yards).
-An efficient, quality day for Hasselbeck until The Bumble.

A wake-up call or a sign of things to come?

See ‘ya Sunday … but we probably will have a better idea on Sept. 30 at San Francisco.

—Are the Patriots big-time cheaters, or is their illegal use of video really no big deal. You decide.
